Abstract

This paper describes the development activities leading up to field testing of the transit integrated collision warning system, with special attention to the side component. Two buses, one each in California and Pennsylvania, have been outfitted with sensors, cameras, computers, and driver-vehicle interfaces in order to detect threats and generate appropriate warnings. The overall project goals, integrated concept, side component features, and future plans are documented here.
